Get the fucker built and ride it, if something fails then replace it.
Hint:

hold on a minute, how do you get 29" wheelz, in a 26" case?
29'' broadly refers to the outside diameter of the infllated tyre. The rim diameter is around 622mm or 24.5''. So even with a deflated tyre on, it may fit into a 26'' case. The picture shows it is a tight fit.

The one I had was ISO
I had a TA guy on the phone a few months ago who confirmed the current Axixx BB is ISO.

Point taken.
The famous Mavic R-Sys. Compressed carbon spokes which spontaneously explode in the presence of aliens (or something like that).I was thinking more along the lines of home assembled using reliable or known (at least to yourself) components. If you have a reasonable number of steel spokes (ie 20-24+) tensioned reasonably equally to well within the limits of the hub/rim, and assuming you are using a standard spoke pattern, then I would think the wheel won't collapse without warning.
Then again, maybe I just need to think that to get on my bike... -
Hmmm, you've got a point. Surely wheels do not fail suddenly and catastrophically, even home built carbon tubs.
Anyone? -
Just had a look at apollo's pic again: what's to worry about aside from the matchstick cranks and chainring?
